When asked about her experience at Complete Weddings + Events, Vanessa shared some insights:
What is your favorite thing about working for this company?
“I love that it truly feels like a family. Chris and Candy have created such a warm and supportive environment—it’s not just a business; it’s a team that genuinely cares for each other. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so valued, not just as a photographer, but as a person.”
What is something you wish people knew about your job?
“People think wedding photography is just about showing up and taking pictures, but there’s so much more to it. It’s about capturing fleeting moments, reading emotions, and adapting to unpredictable situations—all while making sure couples feel at ease. There’s a deep level of storytelling involved, and every wedding is completely unique.”
What is the best piece of career advice you have received?
“Focus on the experience, not just the photos.” Early on, someone told me that how you make people feel during a shoot is just as important as the final images. That stuck with me, and I always try to create a relaxed, enjoyable experience for my couples. When they feel comfortable and connected, the photos naturally turn out even better.”
